MY MOM REVIEWS MY PHOTOS

SMOKING FOR DUMMIES
My Mom and Toby say…
Surgeon General’s Warning: smoking may cause multiple fractures to the body.
1 Toby - Guess that depends on the contents of the cigarette. The contents of this photo are VERY disturbing to this mom.
So we are a family of non smokers. I have never smoked a single cigarette and am under the impression my children have not either. Now Tanner’s dad smoked from the age of 14 until 29. His idol was the “Marlboro” man and his “Glory Days” we living in Casper, Wyoming. He wore the jean jacket with the sheepskin collar and Stetson hat, just like the guy on the billboard. He quit when he became “Married With Children”.
And I’d like to add…
Only 1 Toby!!! My mom’s final review of 2010 and perhaps ever and we only get 1 measly Toby!!! I demand a recount!!! This is an outrage!!!
That being said I’m pretty happy with this being our final photo as I feel it really captures the toll that being “The Furballs” for a year has taken on our bodies. It sounds rather pathetic as our photos are adequate at best, but before this project we exercised and slept a whole lot more. However, no matter how broken we may feel, we fight to maintain the cheer, thus the Santa Suits.

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
My Mom and Toby say…
I told you guys NOT to buy a house from IKEA.
3 Tobys because there are no ruby slippers underneath this IKEA house. Looks like the little “munchkin” survived.
Fact: Today is “All Saints Day” so I have added Vicki to my prayer list. I can’t believe you made her lay down on a NYC sidewalk.
And I’d like to add…
Vicki gets the “team player” award for this photo, hands down and for sure. She really, really did not want to lay down on that “dirty bed bug infested” sidewalk. Oh, and I’m pretty sure that this is the second time my mom has used the title “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home”. Pretty sad, I’m recycling old photo ideas and my mom’s recycling old titles.

CRIMINAL MINDS
My Mom and Toby say…
Screaming “insurance fraud” for sure.
3 Tobys - How much longer until Rigby totally unravels?
And about the Hooters sweatshirt… What a HOOT! Tanner’s dad was on a Florida business trip. Always brought me and the kids a souvenir, great guy. Must have been giving those sweatshirts away. He said it was from a restaurant. Description - black with a large owl - eyes large orange circles, the “O’s” in “Hooters”. Very colorful for Halloween. Wore it to Dustin’s pre-K party, her teacher loved it. So being a soccer mom, wore it to Tanner’s games and the DADS loved it. Could I have been a trophy wife without knowing - NO. And no, I am not one of those 50 something ladies who wear the sweatshirts with the Teddy Bear appliqués on the bus trips to malls.
And I’d like to add…
How much longer till Toby unravels? And where can I get a bus trip to the mall? I need to get my mom a Teddy Bear sweatshirt for Christmas so she can throw it back at me so that I can spend an entire year photographing myself in it and sending it to my mom for a “review” of sorts. Maybe I’d put it on a blog???

“DON’T STOP BELIEVIN” - JOURNEY
My Mom and Toby say…
So it must be Karaoke Friday. Please choose either the above or Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer”. But I’m sure it will be something like “Cecilia” or maybe even “I’m a Looser Baby”.
4 Tobys because I remember singing “I’m a Looser Baby” in the morning getting you guys ready for school. Talk about a mom with encouraging positive attitude.
And I’d like to add…
In addition to singing “I’m a Looser Baby” every morning, my mom was also famous for wearing a Hooter’s sweatshirt to all of my little league soccer games. True story, she had never heard of the restaurant and thought it was a Halloween thing. Literally every game where it was cold out she’d be cheering and/or booing in the Hooters sweatshirt. Who knows what all the other parents must have thought. The best part is that my Dad knew what it meant but never told her.

STEPPING STONE
My Mom and Toby say…
Don’t stars leave their handprints in cement in Hollywood? Footprints are for the beach, man. Guess you’re not the brightest STAR in the universe.
5 Tobys: Maybe you should enroll in a course for beginner plaster “casting”.
Toby says Happy Birthday to Snoop Dog - woof woof.
And I’d like to add…
I think in “Snoop Speak” furball hats would translate to “furbizzle capizzles”. Oh, and Rigby also would like to extend Happy Birthday wishes to snoop dog, fo’ shizzle.

HERE I AM, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU
My Mom and Toby say…
“Clown’s to the left of me, Joker’s to the right”… remember that song, so appropriate for Rigby in this one.
5 Tobys for Rigby. Since I am more advanced in age than most Tumblrers, you all probably haven’t a clue as to what I’m talking about most of the time. Think I’m “stuck” some where in the 70’s and 80’s. So is Rigby the “PreNup”?
And I’d like to add…
Up until recently I never realized the potential of five gallon buckets. They are my new favorite thing.

DOWN TIME
My Mom and Toby say…
Message: “Error - Unable To Complete Backup”
3 Tobys because the Backup System is dysfunctional. Rescue Me Toby (TV Show).
P.S. New Vocab Term for the Fashionistas: JEGGINGS = Jeans + Leggings. Advertisers say they are for “REAL” women, which usually means you look like crap in them and they only look good on mannequins. Typical.
And I’d like to add..
MOBY = My Mom + Toby
or
TOM = Toby + My Mom
